Image Retrieval Based on Fuzzy Color Histogram

Due to its simple, low computation complexity and invariant to geometric transform, color feature is widely used in content-based image retrieval (CBIR). In this paper, a new fuzzy method of color histogram is proposed based on the Lab color space, which links the three histograms created by the three components of the color space and provides a histogram which contains only ten bins. The experimental results prove that the proposed method is more accurate and robust than other methods of histogram.
